Ocean Dreams ~ Awakening to The Beauty Way
A Women's Retreat of Writing and Remembrance
with Janet Lucy and Adena Tryon
Villa Ananda • Punta Mita, Mexico
Saturday, April 17 – Friday, April 23, 2027
“The song of the sea is the call of freedom —
the summons to surrender
to a wild power
vaster than ourselves.”
~ Lucy H. Pearce
Villa Ananda, a beachfront sanctuary and wellness retreat center, sits on the shimmering shore of Punta Mita, Mexico, facing the vast blue Pacific Ocean, where the sea meets the sky, and the palm trees sway to their ancient rhythm.
Here, for one luminous week beneath the Full Moon, we invite you to slip out of ordinary time and into the spacious realm and rhythm of Oceanic Time — a place of pure presence, timelessness, and freedom.
“The song of the sea is a call
that cannot be heard with our outer ears,
but one to which our inner sea, our waters,
our psyche, our soul are drawn …
the insistent call to a different way of being —
of fluidity, flow and freedom."
~ Lucy H. Pearce
Together we will gather in remembrance and celebration of the most sacred divine feminine way of being, The Beauty Way.
Guided by Stella Maris — Star of the Sea — the radiant soul light and divine spark within each of us, we will attune and connect with our infinite, intuitive magical self, the most essential source of who we are.
Our days will ebb and flow in gentle currents of connection, sharing, silence, and stillness. In circle and ceremony we will write, breathe, dream, listen, witness and reflect each other in loving kindness and presence.
Each morning we'll gather in our sacred writing circle, giving space and voice to the breath, allowing words to rise from the depths of our own inner sea.
Afternoons are open and spacious with plenty of time for body care, spa treatments, rest and deep nourishment.
Our evening ceremonies will unfold beneath moonlight and starlight, creating space for beauty, communion, wonder, play and joy.
Immersed in the wild and sensual beauty of nature, we will remember and reconnect with the unique rhythms that resource and sustain us.
At the end of our journey, we will come home with the knowing of The Beauty Way of living, awakened to Stella Maris as our wise inner guide.
"When we awaken to the call of beauty
we become aware of new ways of being in the world.
Our deepest knowledge unfolds
as we are embraced by beauty.”
~ John O'Donohue, Beauty
